Update - the IMF denies it's proposing a 71% income tax rate... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-12-15/imf-disagrees-zero-hedge
Again, show me the exact law that says US citizens have to pay an income tax. No "read the code", no nothing, just show us the law. Go ahead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBTtS9lfW_M
Regardless if there's a law or not, you still get into trouble if you don't pay your taxes or get caught lying about how much you owe the government. Examples @ http://www.dailyfinance.com/on/celebrity-tax-trouble-IRS-liens/ (IRS should have thrown Lindsay Lohan in jail like they did several other stars...e.g...Wesley Snipes) http://docs.law.gwu.edu/facweb/jsiegel/Personal/taxes/JustNoLaw.htm http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081119203812AA1meLY "Hmmm...not really because I'm Canadian" @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r37Fm7paVjs
True, but I was only talking about the Federal Income Tax, I didn't say anything about not paying our taxes, those are two entirely different subjects.
Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
Wikipedia, eh? Here are more eye-opening facts: "After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was NOT ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states..." Read the rest here: http://www.thelawthatneverwas.com/
Zeitgeist, Benson? Good luck using that as your defense against the IRS; or, in any court in the US for that matter. Checkmate.
It's the whole code that is the law that requires you to pay taxes. I'm sure this will not be good enough..... 26 U.S.C @ 1 There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of every individual Section 1 imposes the tax on your "taxable income". Section 63 of the Code defines "taxable income" Sources of taxable income are identified in the Code under Section 61, Gross Income Defined. . . . So sections 1, 61, 63 the tax code passed by Congress imposes taxes on your taxable income. Need more?????
